Tecmo today announced they have shipped their highly anticipated Dead or Alive 3 title for the Xbox to retailers a week earlier than origonally planned to help retailers prepare for the hectic launch on the 15th.

"We're pleased to ship Dead or Alive 3 a week earlier than expected," stated John Inada, marketing director of Tecmo, Inc. "This gives all retailers a chance to have the game available on shelves in time for the November 15 launch of Xbox. We anticipate demand will peak when the multi-million dollar TV ad campaign kicks off on November 11, 2001."

In the same press release, Tecmo President Isamu Fukada shot down rumors of DoA3 appearing on other platforms with the following comment: "Despite rampant speculation, Tecmo has no plans to produce Dead or Alive 3 for other consoles. Dead or Alive 3 was designed to take full advantage of and play exclusively on Xbox, which is the most powerful video game system on the market."
